Furthermore, same-sex female couples suffer breakups more often and more quickly than heterosexual couples. To help address these disparities, psychology researchers are testing a relationship education program to address the unique needs of female same-sex couples.

In a novel study of behavioral health outcomes published in the journal Pain, researchers examined the effects of patients' daily knee osteoarthritis pain on their spouses' nightly sleep.
